AIMcast 03 - 90210, Skinny Jeans, Twilight, Harry Potter, and Sasha Grey

So, what’s a blogger to do when his partner in crime goes home for the weekend? Does he go on an all-out bender? Get all emo? Repress the emotional turmoil? Or, does he call up two fine young ladies and start an AIMcast? Yeah, that’s it. Join us as we discuss: 90210, How I Met Your Mother, Shia LeBeouf, Miley Cyrus, Twilight, American Apparel ads, Sia, Spring Standards, pop rocks, and waaaaaay more. Extra special thanks to my guests Rohini and Kirsten.

Kirsten: I meant to have the season premiere of Mad Men watched by now
Kirsten: but I don’t
Kirsten: I don’t want any spoilers
Neal: OK.
Neal: Well, let’s get started and hopefully Ro will pop in.
Kirsten: So what’s up?
Neal: Well, let’s see - NASA discovered - or claims to have discovered - water on Mars.
Kirsten: Liquid water?
Neal: Ice. But maybe a little liquid too?
Neal: I mean, even ice is a big deal
Kirsten: I thought we knew about ice?
Kirsten: I’m not super up on my Mars discoveries though
Kirsten: I thought there were traces of polar ice caps
Neal: I think no matter what, if we ever get people there it’ll just be like that movie Event Horizon
Neal: i.e. blood. dead bodies. and zero G fire
Kirsten: I never saw Event Horizon
Kirsten: so I don’t know
Neal: It was unnecessarily scary.

The Incredible Hulk - TXT Message Review

I was discussing with Nick the other day about how writing movie reviews isn’t worth the effort since we record the podcast during the weekend. With that in mind, here is the ‘txt message review’ (less than 160 characters) that I just sent to a friend:

Comic Pick - Week 41 2007

Fantastic Four #550Fantastic Four #550 is the best of McDuffie’s tales yet on this run. It’s smart, bold, big, and human. It takes the team from the furthest reaches of space and reality back to their kitchen. It’s pure sci-fi superhero fun. It’s also thoughtful and very compassionate, which really sold me.

*Sniffle* The main reason I was picking up this series will soon be gone. This is the final issue featuring Black Panther and Storm as regular cast members, and DAMN what a story. The other reason I was picking up this book - Dwanye McDuffie - will also be departing, but he has at least two issues to go. His brilliant storytelling has taken a series that I always struggled to enjoy and turned it into one of my favorite must-read comic books.
